Cindy's icecream potluck, Lisa had us all booked inward for a Christmas shindig at her place. I was craving some savoury goodies but couldn't actually confront much to a greater extent than fourth dimension inward the kitchen, thence I decided to brand a quick together with slowly salad from our novel cookbook she stuck amongst sweets.

I ended upwards paying to a greater extent than attending to things similar mushroom pate than to this dish thence I don't stimulate got likewise much to say virtually it. It was strongly flavoured, amongst loads of light-green herbs, delicious crispy onion bits and, of course, mango. The 2 rice varieties added a fleck of heft, spell the nuts together with kokosnoot some overnice textural variety. We took a big pile of this to the political party together with ended upwards amongst almost zilch to stimulate got home, thence I approximate this repast tin last classed every bit a potluck success. (Cindy ate the minor scoop of leftovers the next 24-hour interval together with said they were fifty-fifty amend than the commencement fourth dimension circular - the rice had acquired a rich buttery flavour fifty-fifty though I'd subbed the master copy recipe's butter amongst olive oil.)

The potluck every bit a whole was fantastic - subsequently a 24-hour interval of eating a diet comprised almost solely of sugar, it was groovy to stimulate got such an array of wonderful, vegan savoury treats to lower the blood saccharide a bit. Wonderful every bit good to pass a relaxed pre-Christmas afternoon amongst such a fantastic gang of people - we're looking forwards to keeping the regular potlucks going inward the novel year.
